Understanding the Census Quality Review (CQR) Process for Boundary and Coverage Challenges

The Census Quality Review (CQR) is a Census Bureau program aimed at identifying and rectifying errors related to census boundaries, geocoding, and coverage issues. It allows designated representatives of local governments and tribal authorities to submit challenges between June 1, 2011, and June 1, 2013. Challenges can involve incorrect boundary locations, misplaced living quarters, or coverage omissions. Essential submission materials include maps, local laws, and address lists. Successful challenges result in revised population counts and official updates, while unsuccessful ones provide documentation for future considerations.
